The crew also sent a diver into the water in the hopes of finding some answers.

However, they said, unfortunately, they were unable to find any trace of Lutz.

“We originally thought we had a hit, which turned out to be some rocks, which happened to look like the size and shape of somebody. We put a diver in and cleared the area. Now, we have to regroup and re-plan,” Captain Gerry Boylan of the Garden State Underwater Recovery Unit said.

After the divers pulled their boat from the water, a rainbow came across the sky. It was something the crew hoped was a more positive sign after a very difficult search.

“Even with the wind up here, if the wind pushes the boat off our trajectory of where we’re doing a sonar search, we could miss him by a foot or two,” Boylan said. “It’s very complicated to try to and do this, lay out a pattern, and follow the pattern exactly with conditions like we have today.”

The search has been suspended until Saturday. The dive crew said they will likely be back then to check other areas of the lake.

Lake Silkworth Volunteer Fire Chief Jerry Walker has been organizing a quite a lot of the search effort. He thanked all the emergency officials, volunteers, and community members who have given their time in this search so far over the past week. Walker said he is determined to find answers for the family of Adam Lutz and he will continue to use all the resources he can to get the job done.

Refloat is not an exact science many factors involved. Or he could be hung up. or not there the questions that we as dive teams try to answer is can he be found if he is there. Believe me its not cut and dry and we do our best to bring that loved one home.

Ha to thing I’m young is laughable. Yesterday was the first day that the PSP were on scene. As for the garden state team that was here, yes they are ALL volunteer who even buy their own equipment. Please read up on things before you make comments.

It’s funny how you care so much about first responders getting paid thousands of dollars for their search efforts, meanwhile you likely supported and endorsed the wars in the middle east that bankrupted tax payers close to 5 trillion dollars.

IT HAS HAPPENED IN MY FAMILY- AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS DIED ONLY BY THEIR OWN ACTIONS! – I was only stating a fact- no different than pioneers who met their demise by starvation, animal or Indian attacks. IT HAPPENS!

🤔

I’m sorry it happened in your family. The comment is still horrible. I believe the original story said this young man had some sort of mental illness. Don’t like to see anything like this happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter if it’s cuz of their own foolishness or what ever. We’re supposed to love our neighbor like ourselves.

You already said that once. No one cares what some moron who has no life has to say. Go get a job or do something productive. It’s sad. You say things on here because you want to rile people up. You are looking for attention and it’s sad.

Our Dive team from schuylkill county was up on Saturday in the rain and sleet fron 7am till 2 pm diving ning sonar and our rov. From Ryan Twp, Took us 1.5 hrs to get there and back home. WE ARE 100% volunteer nothing was paid for not our fuel our time nothing. We do this to help families with answers. Its funny ppl that sit at home on their computer in front of their tv don’t have a clue what we do have so much to say. We don’t judge these ppl we try to help. My suggestion if you don’t want to help or be constructive don’t talk about us that do. We spend money time training and at times risk our lives to better other ppls lives when these things happen. So dont talk about things you don’t know about.
